Roofing Repair & Replacement

Roofing Repair & Replacement

Your roof takes a beating from wind, rain, and hail. We fix leaks, replace damaged shingles, and handle full replacements when the damage runs deep. As a licensed Illinois roofing contractor, we do the job right so water stays out for good.

Emergency Roof Tarping

Emergency Roof Tarping

When a storm tears open your roof, every minute lets more water in. We tarp the damage fast to stop the leak and protect what's underneath while we plan the full repair. Quick action here saves you from a much bigger bill.

Tree Removal From Roofs

Tree Removal From Roofs

A tree on your roof is dangerous and won't wait. We safely remove fallen and hazardous trees, then handle the roof damage they left behind. One crew clears the tree and repairs the hole, so you're not chasing separate contractors.

Storm Damage Restoration

Storm Damage Restoration

High winds and heavy rain hit Southern Illinois hard. We respond fast with tarping, water cleanup, and full repairs. From a damaged roof to soaked drywall, we put your property back together the right way.

Water Damage Restoration

Water Damage Restoration

Burst pipe or flooded basement? We extract the water fast and dry your home down to the studs. The longer water sits, the more it spreads, so quick action saves your floors, walls, and belongings. We handle cleanup and repairs start to finish.

Fire Damage Restoration

Fire Damage Restoration

A fire leaves more than burn marks. We clear the debris, repair the structure, and restore the rooms the fire damaged. We also document everything your insurance needs, so your home feels like yours again.

Smoke & Odor Removal

Smoke & Odor Removal

Smoke smell soaks into walls, fabrics, and ductwork and lingers long after a fire. We use fogging and deep-cleaning methods to pull the odor out for good, not just mask it. Your home shouldn't remind you of the fire every time you walk in.

Mold Remediation

Mold Remediation

Mold spreads fast and harms your health and your home. We find the source, contain it, remove it safely, and treat the area so it doesn't return. You get cleaner air and a home you can trust again.

Crawlspace Repair & Encapsulation

Crawlspace Repair & Encapsulation

The space under your home affects everything above it. We fix moisture and structural problems, then seal and encapsulate the crawlspace to keep it dry. That protects your air quality and your foundation for the long haul.

Rebuild & Reconstruction Services

Rebuild & Reconstruction Services

Cleanup is only half the job. Once the damage is cleared, we rebuild what was lost, from framing and drywall to flooring and finish work. One team takes you from disaster to done.

Insurance Claim Assistance

Insurance Claim Assistance

Filing a claim is stressful. We help with storm inspections, photographs, documentation, and emergency mitigation, then work directly with your insurer. You handle less paperwork and get a smoother path back to normal.

Storm Damage Inspections

Storm Damage Inspections

Not sure how bad the storm hit? We inspect your roof, gutters, and siding for damage you can't see from the ground, and document it all with photos. You get an honest assessment and a clear picture of what your home needs.

Who We Are

A Team Committed to Excellence

John Fowler
John Fowler

Serving Since 2011

Restoration Connection has served Southern Illinois since 2011. Owner John Fowler built this company on a simple idea: treat people's homes like our own. From our base in Marion, we've helped families across the region recover from storms, water, fire, and mold. We're a licensed Illinois roofing contractor and fully insured. That experience and accountability are why so much of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers.

One Call Handles It All

Most damage doesn't come with a single problem. Water leads to mold. A storm damages the roof and soaks the drywall. That's why we handle the whole job under one roof, from the first inspection through cleanup, repair, and full reconstruction. You don't juggle three contractors or fight your insurance alone. We document the damage, work directly with your insurer, and finish what we start. Our crews show up on time, respect your property, and clean up when the work is done.

Storm damage? Flooded floors? Tree through the roof?

One call gets our licensed crew to your door fast — we handle the damage, the cleanup, the rebuild, and the insurance for you

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How fast can you respond to water damage in Marion?

A: We offer same-day and next-day service for most repairs to get your home back on track fast.

Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes. We work directly with your insurance company on covered damage. We document everything, take moisture readings, and provide clear estimates your insurer needs. Many customers tell us this took a huge weight off their shoulders. You handle less paperwork, and we handle the repairs.

My basement flooded. What should I do first?

First, stay safe and avoid standing water near electrical outlets. Then call us right away so we can extract the water and start drying before mold sets in. We remove damaged flooring and drywall, treat the area, and restore it. The faster you act, the more we can save.

Do you handle mold removal too?

Yes, mold remediation is one of our core services. We find the source, contain the area, remove the mold safely, and treat the surfaces so it doesn't return. Mold often hides in basements and crawlspaces after water damage. If you've had a leak or flooding, it's worth getting it checked.

A tree fell on my roof during a storm. Can you help?

Yes. We handle emergency tree removal and storm damage together. We safely remove the tree, tarp the roof to stop further water from getting in, and then repair or replace the damaged roofing. Doing it all with one crew means faster cleanup and fewer headaches for you.

How much does restoration work cost?

Cost depends on the type and extent of the damage, so we provide a clear estimate after inspecting the property. Many customers tell us our pricing is fair and reasonable for the work involved. We'll walk you through the estimate before any work starts. Call us for a free inspection.

What areas around Marion do you serve?

We serve Marion and the surrounding Southern Illinois towns, including Carbondale, Carterville, West Frankfort, Murphysboro, Harrisburg, Benton, Goreville, and Du Quoin. If you're nearby and not sure we cover your area, just call. We've traveled an hour out for the right job before.

Will you clean up after the work is done?

Yes. We clean up after every job, and our customers mention it often. Our crews treat your home with respect, leave the area tidy, and put things back where they belong. You won't be left with a mess to deal with after we restore your property.
